> In July, Donald Trump reportedly used a security ruse after a credible Iranian assassination threat. Television cameras showed him boarding the older Air Force One jumbo jet, but footage reviewed by the Guardian indicates he was moved minutes later to a smaller aircraft. The transfer allegedly took place through an airport catering truck normally used to carry meals and other preflight supplies. The operation concealed Trump’s actual location while presenting cameras with an apparent departure aboard the larger plane.
